Trespassers on Our Own Land!

The Memoirs of Juan Valdez and the June 5, 1967, Tierra
Amarilla Courthouse Raid

Reies Lopez Tijerina, Patsy Tijerina,
Benny Naranjo, Judge Scarborough, Dave Cargo. Why the very names conjure up
shoot ‘em up times in the Old West! Juan Valdez, whose family lived in the area
for countless generations, was the first of Tijerina’s lieutenants in the
courthouse. Valdez related his memoirs to Mike Scarborough over the last several
years and shortly thereafter passed away. This presentation will focus on the
Valdez family history, events leading up to the raid, and the aftermath of the
event as seen from the eyes of one of it main participants.

Mike
Scarborough grew up in Espanola and was the son of Judge J. M Scarborough, the
magistrate on the bench during the courthouse raid. Mike, a former attorney
himself, was asked by Juan Valdez to write his family history.
Trespassers On Our Own Land, published just this year,
is the result of this research, and Scarborough will present excerpts from his
book which he will sell and sign after the presentation.
